Have you opened up the machine to see what is wrong? That may help.
As fur using struts to move the machine, overhere in Europe lots of machines have been moved without them and it didn't do them any harm. If the top of the machine is vibrating, to me that sounds more of a problem with the four feet not being set properly on the floor or something like that. My now 23 year old Miele had problems with the shock absorbers two years ago. The glass was damaged and the drum smacked the side of the machine sometimes. But it never vibrated in the way you describe. So best is to open the machine and see what happens when it spins. | ||

Miele Washer
Are you sure you have got it absolutely level?
Also, what is the nature of the floor it is standing on? If not concrete you may need to put a board (something like 1/2inch waterproof ply) to spread the load more evenly over the floor area. If you have a dryer as well, it would help even more to put the ply under the dryer as well, as the load is spread even more Al | ||

Just had shocks replaced on my Miele last year
And am here to tell you the suspension system has nothing to do with loud noises during spinning.
With one or both shock absorbers gone the tub's movements cannot be controlled, thus it will sway, bang, etc... If this washer is on anything else but a solid concrete type of flooring then you are going to have problems with vibrations. It will take lots of work with a sprit level and perhaps reinforcement of the flooring to shore things up to obtain a quieter spin. Mind you sometimes vibrations cannot be helped. Long as the machine remains in place and is not leaping about, some shaking "towards the top" is considered normal. This happens even with Laundromat washing machines that are bolted into several feet of concrete. Usually this vibration results from loads in various states of unbalance. | ||
